SUMMARY:Author Talk | David Brooks
DESCRIPTION:Episode Description:\nBest-selling author\, New York Times columnist and PBS NewsHour correspondent\, David Brooks talks about his latest book\, “How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen.” In this conversation with PBS Books contributor\, Zoe Clark\, he offers a personal\, practical guide for how each of us can deal with what he calls the nation’s loneliness epidemic\, how to relate to the people we meet\, how to practice aggressive friendliness\, and why your hometown is a better place to look for happiness than politics. It’s a book for the soul and for our times. \nAbout the Book: \nAs David Brooks observes\, “There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person\, family\, school\, community organization\, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seen—to accurately know another person\, to let them feel valued\, heard\, and understood.” \nAnd yet we humans don’t do this well. All around us are people who feel invisible\, unseen\, misunderstood. In How to Know a Person\, Brooks sets out to help us do better\, posing questions that are essential for all of us: If you want to know a person\, what kind of attention should you cast on them? What kind of conversations should you have? What parts of a person’s story should you pay attention to? \nDriven by his trademark sense of curiosity and his determination to grow as a person\, Brooks draws from the fields of psychology and neuroscience and from the worlds of theater\, philosophy\, history\, and education to present a welcoming\, hopeful\, integrated approach to human connection. How to Know a Person helps readers become more understanding and considerate toward others\, and to find the joy that comes from being seen. Along the way it offers a possible remedy for a society that is riven by fragmentation\, hostility\, and misperception. \nThe act of seeing another person\, Brooks argues\, is profoundly creative: How can we look somebody in the eye and see something large in them\, and in turn\, see something larger in ourselves? How to Know a Person is for anyone searching for connection\, and yearning to be understood. \nGuest Biography: \nDavid Brooks \nDavid Brooks is one of the nation’s leading writers and commentators.
